Different XML homescreens!!

[Guest fcm]

I really would like this homescreen http://www.mobilsiden.dk/mobildebat.dk/deb...ges/1/12865.jpg but how do I get it ?

Everyone who have made their own XML homescreen! Would you guys mind posting a link or something to it ?

[Guest Usman]

It is available on the microsoft website under the SDK section. I have made a variation of it for my phone and i think it is the BOMB!! I will post the code for it in case you wanna use it.

Save this in notepad as (select save as all files type) Usman.home.xml.

Place it in IPSM/Apllication/Home. Rename your favourite picture as Mypicture.bmp. Select from your Smartphone and voila!! Obviuoslly you can mess about with this to suit your own needs and stuff. THe good thing about my home screen is that you can still change the background and colour scheme without affecting the layout which is useful. Anyway ENJOY!!

[Guest fcm]

dosent work :D

I've done it many times! But this one dosent work

[Guest Will]

what goes wrong?

and do you just want the mru at the bottom of the screen?

(doing this looks fine until a calendar/appt/call comes in when the whole thing is shifted)

Will?

[Guest Usman]

It works fine on my phone. Try to change the value of the sysplug.dll to a smaller value. this will solve the problem of when other plugins are introduced. If anyome wants it emailed to them just email me and i will send you the xml file from my phone!

[Guest Usman]

Click on this link. It takes you to the microsoft site where it takes you through creating a home layout step by step.

"It works fine on my phone. Try to change the value of the sysplug.dll to a smaller value. this will solve the problem of when other plugins are introduced. If anyome wants it emailed to them just email me and i will send you the xml file from my phone!"

it dosent work! I just can't chose it under "Home screen layout" :D(

[Guest Deemon]

me either, its not in the list

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

got it working finally :D

you need to remove all "未接电话: " type lines from the code, its got screwed up somewhere along the line and any single errors like that will make the spv ignore the file (the amount of time it took me to find the missing ' " ' that was stopping mine from working...:/)

other than that it looks quite nice :(, although i wish it was possible to get he time and date larger without making the carrier large as well, i couldnt get the clock plugin to work :/

[Guest Deemon]

dont suppose you could paste the XML in here could you ...i tried removing those lines...still no joy though :-(

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

np, i shoved this in ispmapplication datahome using activesync over IR :D, and it works fine. have fun:

[Guest Deemon]

success !

I was after a homepage that enabled me to see my backdrop but also have all the information at hand..

What ive managed to do is have a fairly empty screen as standard but by scrolling down the screen the Calendar and SMS/Email info becomes available.

Please note that in order for this to work you need to change the background filename to one that you have currently inIPSMApplication DataHome.

If you dont do this then you will get the error that I had which is explained in the rest of this thread.

credit goes to Usman for the template..

[Guest ilscuro]

Sorry but i get the message "no home screen layouts can be found,install a valid home screen layout and then select it using the home screen item in settings"

can someone tell me what ime doing wrong?

And hope i dont sound thick but how can i change home screen text colour to white?

thanks

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

you need to change the .scheme.xml or add a tag in the home screen you want to use with the html hex (?) code for "white". do a search on msdn for "home screen" for full deatils...

funnily enough i made a change to the xml and now mine says that...even copying a standard one into the home directory doesnt work...it only seems to like the ones in the windows directory now :!:

[Guest spacemonkey]

When providing a list of home screen to choose from it does read and validate the XML, so a home screen with invalid XML shouldn't appear on the list while others should. My guess would be that you have a home screen in there with bad XML and maybe it's going buggy and not processing the directory further... Or maybe you have too many homescreens and it's got a bug with that... or maybe you're out of program memory and it's got a bug with that...

Try:

A) reboot the phone

:D remove the custom home screens you have currently loaded (all of them)

C) clear the internet cache to free up program memory

If :( fixes it try copying them back one at a time and see if it's a specific one that's making it die...

[Guest Deemon]

i only had one homepage in there.... ive removed alot of my pix and sounds just incase the mem was low...ive hardly use the internet so the cache should be pretty much non existant...

ive deleted the homepage and tried other custom ones...they dont work either...

im getting nervous now... :-(

[Guest Will]

browse to /home/application data/home check for the existance of a .hif file, (usually home0.hif). delete it and start again.

(this works for me, while testing, and MIGHT work for you, but as i don't know exactly what this .hif file actaually does, it's at your own risk).

hif = home information file????

Will

[Guest Deemon]

nope did nothing...homepage is visible in the list but comes up as an invalid scheme when i return to homepage screen

[Guest Will]

ok well the easiest way to check for a homescreen problem, in the syntax is to use Internet Explorer on your pc, (usually this is the default, or you open ie, and then use file, open to select the file).

If the syntax is correct, then the only other problem i have encountered to cause this is the bgimage tag referring to a missing file. try deleting the tag, and setting the background manually.

Will

[Guest Deemon]

Thanks Will,

that was it... i had moved the background into my documents by accident.. put it back into the home dir and its fixed it...
